no, those above are a different model, don't know anything about them, the correct ones are Toyo Proxes T1R see here http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m54b0s13p1680

Those above are PX4's.

Tyres, these days are all made for overall performance, safety and grip hence they do not last as long, even moreso if you go for performance tyres. In the old days you might get 20-30,000 out of tyres, but now seems 12months or more is the norm. My PZero (fronts) lasted three years which is amazing but I don't drive hard especially corners and roundabouts which is where you do all the damage but having said that I only got 13,900 miles out of them and by comparison sounds bad, for an average driver that would be one years miles perhaps. My rear PZero still look new and probably go on for another year, I guess good quality tyres with grip on the front and harder ones on rear might be the way to go.

Where did you get them fitted? Ive always thought Quikfit but my friend said they dont really treat cars well there,including driving them around? and my dads alloy got ruined by them, but they did replace it.

I bought them from a back street garage but no way was letting him fit them, I want my car properly jacked up and supported and fitted/balanced by the latest equipment. So, my top local Ford garage did it for me and what says it all was, the service manager said sorry for delay will be ready in a few minutes, just washing off all the greasy stuff they use on the rims to fit them, so my car came out with clean tyres and wheels and no white gunk slimy stuff all over the edges.

Guessing the link below is the tyres you bought Steve? just making sure before i buy them as they have a different name, but seem to be the only Toyo ones on the Fiesta size Alex.

Toyo Proxes

You might be able to get them cheaper elsewhere but you have to factor in postage (if bought on-line) and fitting cost, unless you can get them done free like Steve

How do you know tyres are legit and new, do they have symbols on them?

Looks like a small child has drawn crayon all over them

Anyone who has had the Toyo T1R's how many miles do they last?

Got the standard PZeros on at the minute and they have only lasted 9500 miles which isnt great in my opinion and they are un-usable in the snow.

Are they really that bad in the snow?
